Rus. and I got there about half past nine. We had a good though mighty hot time and got home about two o'clock. It has been a nice sunny day but cold raw wind.

Tuesday April 14th

I didn't do anything much but chores and sow red cover seed on the weheat east of the orchard. It froze hard last night and by the time I got that piece sowed it was too muddy & wet to sow the other. Rus. Haby & Frank shingled nearly all day at the old house. and have it nearly finished. Rus. had to go back to Toronto to-night or they likely would have finished. I drove hom down to the treain, he said he had a good time whle he was here, and felt a lot better than when he came. I drove Dick up town from the station he said he had been very bust=y all day and would have to woerk late to-night. I got a bunch of shingles from Tommy and the seed oats we got from Jonas on my wat=y home. There was a school board meeting to-nigjht but Dad. had such a terrible headache he cvouldn;t attend. Frank went down to a niggert show which I suppose he wnjoyed. I felt rotten with a cold to-night and nearly coughed my insodes out after I qwent to bed.It has been a lovely dfay one of the nicest we have had this year. it waas fairly hot. The young stock all got back across the gully after dinner. and dad ad OI had to go back after them we took Bliuch on the chain.
